Research

The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute is a charitably funded genomic research centre located in Hinxton, nine miles south
of Cambridge in the UK.

A leader in the Human Genome Project, we are now focused on understanding the role of genetics in health and disease.
Our passion for discovery drives our quest to uncover the basis of genetic and infectious disease. We aim to provide
results that can be translated into diagnostics, treatments or therapies that reduce global health burdens.
